    You could have spent all Saturday cutting down carppy trees. Siberian elms. The weeds of trees. Not sure how, but just beat me up something fierce. Cuts, scrapes and scratches Everywhere.

    Have stopped at one of your favorite places.
    The water temp in the shower is a quarter turn to scalding!

    Well the are all different sizes , shapes and weights. Some have 2 rocks some have 3. .. Some are real big some are small.. I tried to put heaviest in the center but basically 11 pallets total, side by side.. So 5 on each side and 1 in middle, stretch from the front of my trailer all the way to the back. Believe it or not..

    Ok, it is a single string down the center. Good deal.

    Ive made 1 or 2 for guys I worked with at the time that I made that one.

    Ive also got a design idea for one that is more like a pot belly stove... It requires a little more metal than just the rims though.
